It would be interesting to see blood work on those with self-diagnosed "prolactin induced gyno" to see if prolactin really is elevated. From what I remember progestins (would include drugs such as tren and deca) can actually lower prolactin. A raise in estrogen can lead to an increase in prolactin though. This is from memory so I might be wrong.
I'd love to hear SWALE's take on "prolactin induced gyno".
Tren and Deca increase prolactin not lower it which is why you get gyno and taking an AI won't help, you need the levels to return to normal
it works, but there are some studies that say extended use can damage the heart valves or something. i'll try to look it up.
raloxifene also seems good at clearing up puffiness from tren and deca.
the best effect of the caber is that it helps reverse deca and tren dick. it really reduces your refractory period, so you are ready to go again much quicker.
The study was using superfluous doses... no where near what we take... something like 100 times the dose a bodybuilder would use for a deca/tren cycle.
BTW, there is a great article on tren and prolactin gyno written by William Llewellyn. Essentially, these will not increase prolactin and therefore not cause prolactin gyno. I will find it and post it here. It essentially boils down to the significant increase in estrogen caused by the test in the cycle compounded exponentially by the tren. This in itself will raise prolactin levels as well but not how we as body builders have believed for years.
Please hold your comments until i can find the article.... LOL
Didn't see prolactin mentioned in the article but what you say here is pretty much my impression after looking into it a bit years ago - that estrogen increases prolactin but drugs such as deca and tren probably don't. Testosterone coud increase prolactin due to aromatization.
"progesterone induced gyno" and "prolactin induced gyno" aren't scientific terms. There are several hormones that interact in breast tissue growth, estrogen and igf-1 being the main players without which gyno cannot develop.
working on it right now!
